Former manager speaks out ahead of season opener.

  

The Isipathana vs St.Peters match which will kick start the 2010 inter school rugby season is less than a week away and ahead of our key opening fixture ***** KINGS OF RUGBY***** got a hold of one of our former managers of the 1^st XV Mr.Dushan Wickramsinghe about his views and thoughts on the upcoming blockbuster match.

·        What do you think of the pathana side this year?

   “Along with the proper guidance I think its one of the strongest. I have worked with these set of lads when they were in their U-14,s. They seem to have a very good team spirit and understanding”.

·        What do you think of the other sides?

  “Well in general all the sides especially peters seem to be good. And don’t rule out Royal, Thora, Trinity and kingswood.They seem to be formidable as well”.

  

·        What would you expect on this match? (IC vs SPC)

    “St.Peters after their 22-12 loss to us last year will certainly come out all guns blazing for revenge and hence it won’t be easy. I think the game will depend on who will be able to hold their nerve under pressure”.

·        SPC has a good back division. Any comments?

      “Yes they do have some hard runners mainly their centers and wingers. But on the other hand I think we have quality players of our own who could counter this threat. But overall I think the scales will slightly be in favor of the peterites”.

·         Any thoughts on tactics and key points?

      “ well there will be some great individual battles like Shenal vs Muqsith, D. Ranjan vs Ashan and Keith vs Devinda and these would have a major impact on the outcome of the game”.

·        Who do you think will win?

   “Well Isipathana”.

Isipathana vs St.Peters 24^th April 18, 2010 @ Havelock park.
